International tensions and labor strikes headline Congress page
Government control of the anthracite industry is urged by the coal commission with a September forecast for more guidance on the bituminous sector. If mining stops, the president could seize mines, allocate coal, and set prices and wages, drawing AFL objections. Attorney General Daugherty warns against a country-wide railroad strike, while judge Wilkerson’s ruling may deny juries to strikers. In Britain, Premier Baldwin’s Ruhr policy gains cautious acceptance from France, which insists Germany must pay and remain under occupation. France also approves the Washington naval treaty with limited submarine concessions. The loss of Dillingham and Volstead could weaken Congress, with continuation on Page Two.
